GAVE CITY, Ky„ Feb. 9. — M ilitary authorities, guarding the cave in which Floyd Collins is imprisoned here, predicted arrests to be made within 24 hours, as the web of evidence was uncov ered in a swiftly moving inquiry which was opened in order to run to earth ugly rum ors and in sinuations in connection with the im prisonm ent of Collins. The name of the suspect was withheld by the authorities, but is is in tim ated th a t the man under sus picion had rubbed shoulders with scores of earnest rescue workers gathered here a t the risk of their lives, who are laboring for the relief of the stricken man, in the name of hum anitarism . John Geralds, reputed "buddy” of Collins was cross examined for facts regarding the theories ad vanced which label this tragedy as a huge, ghastly fraud. It is thought th a t the entire imprison m ent might be ia "fra u d ” as a giant publicity stu n t for the cave and th a t Collins, the imprisoned man was only am actor in the scheme. According to this theory, those supporting it declare that food has been taken to Col.’ins through another entrance to the cave, which is known to but a few. A nother theory advance is that Collins wias actually trapped in the cave, and was either deliber ately m urdered as he lay helpless under the huge boulder, or that 1ft? was virtually killed by the ham pering of the rescue efforts which were made. W ord which was brought out by radio tests th a t Collins is still breathing was overshadowed by the gigantic probability th at the captive’s death — if he is found dead—tspells m urder.
